RE: OT - system administration of different UNIX flavors

Oracle has over 60% of the database market.

MS/SQL runs only on NT and most of the market is Unix.

IBM is just getting into non-AIX Unix and their DB2 for Unix is never going to catch up with Oracle. Oracle even out performs DB2 on IBM's big iron.

Sun is a big boy in the Unix environment and will still be supported by Oracle.

Keep doing what you are doing.
